The Proposal

The Proposal for a taiapure was made by Rohe Tautoko Takiri, J.P. of Ngati Te Waho Waikato Maniapoto. It was endorsed and supported by Tainui Maori Trust Board, Maniapoto Maori Trust Board and Ngati Raukawa Trust Board, which were representative of the people in the area of the taiapure.

The Proposal is a comprehensive document comprising 80 pages and sets out a large amount of background detail as well as objectives and principles. Much of the information sets the scene for the application and has passed without comment. I do not intend to try to summarise the information in the Proposal, particularly as the Ministry will hold the original. I will under this heading simply refer to the main thrust of the Proposal in respect of a taiapure and any other provisions which have drawn comment.

I am told that the original Proposal was for a much larger area based on the seaward boundary of the rohe potae and that the present area is a compromise following discussion between the applicants and the Ministry. The Proposal does not contain a written geographical description of the area, the original description having been deleted and replaced by a map headed ‘Revised Kawhia/Aotea Taiapure Boundaries’, a copy of which is reproduced at page 19. I would describe the area, in layman’s terms, as bounded by a line starting at Taranaki Point north of the Aotea Harbour and proceeding four nautical miles in a westerly direction, then proceeding south to join a line two nautical miles west from the shoreline at Albatross Point and continuing south at that distance from the shoreline until Tirua Point which forms the south boundary, and including the Aotea and Kawhia Harbours, also an area of one nautical mile surrounding Gannett or Karewa Island.

The defined limits of the area according to the Gazette notice which appeared in the New Zealand Gazette on 20 June 1996 were:

Area 1: The area enclosed by a line commencing at the mean high water mark at Tirua Point on the west coast of the north island (at 38° 23.45′S; 174° 38.00′E); then proceeding directly through a north westerly direction to a point 38° 23.00′S; 174° 34.40′E; thence proceeding in a northerly direction along a line every point of which is 2 nautical miles seawards of the mean high water mark along the coast to a point 38° 06.75′S; 174° 38.25′E; then proceeding directly through a easterly direction to the mean high water mark at Albatross Point on the west coast of the North Island (at 38° 06.75′S; 174° 40.80′E) and then to the point of commencement at Tirua Point (at 38° 23.45′S 174° 38.00′E).

Area 2: The area enclosed by a line commencing at the mean high water mark at Albatross Point on the west coast of the North Island (at 38° 06.75′S 174° 40.80′E); thence proceeding directly through a westerly direction to a point 38° 06.75′S; 174° 38.25′E; thence in a northerly direction along a line to a point 37° 58.40′S; 174° 41.70′E; thence
